SIM900 — Mainframe

SIM900 Mainframe
· Rugged, compact design
· 8 module slots
· 9th port for remote module
· 10 MHz reference with ext. sync
· Cascade multiple mainframes
· GPIB and RS-232 interfaces
· Start-up script memory

SIM (Small Instrumentation Modules) is a robust, flexible
platform in which up to eight high-performance instruments
share the same compact mainframe and computer interface.
Unlike other modular systems, both front-panel and computer
operation are possible. With SIM you get the functionality
you need while avoiding the cost of unnecessary features.
You configure your own system from a broad and growing
selection of modules.
The SIM900 Mainframe is the platform on which a SIM system
is assembled. The mainframe provides power, computer
interfaces, clock synchronization, and individual module
status. Eight internal module slots accommodate single-width
and double-width modules. For the occasional application
needing a module right next to an experiment, a rear-panel
connector and an interconnect cable permit operation of a 9th
module outside the mainframe.

The mainframe comes with a standard RS-232 host interface
and GPIB (IEEE-488.2) as an option. All commands
and queries to individual modules are routed through the
mainframe host interface. Messages are routed based on their
port number, with the mainframe seamlessly relaying data to
and from the appropriate destination. This messaging system
is also used to communicate through the two auxiliary RS-232
ports. Using these ports, any number of SIM900 mainframes
and other RS-232 instruments may be controlled through one
host interface in the master mainframe.
